All citizens of the US are American. Therefore all the Chinese people living in America are American

Because Chinese people can be both ethnically Chinese while also being an American citizen.

Based on your own narrow definition, only Native Americans ought to compete. I'm assuming you're white due to your avatar. That makes you as much of an import as a Chinese person.

*sigh*
and I thought america was a "melting pot"...
The media might be portraying the United States as entirely populated by WASPS..
but..
if it is anything like where I am - Canada-..
There is a vast difference between media and the stark reality.
Why should not be a Chinese person be on ???? They have been in the New World since the beginning anyway..
I fail to understand..

Just because someone is Chinese does not mean they are not American.

Everyone's being so rude to you. That's not nice is it? I reckon it's because they are funny (the Chinese not the people answering your question). Oh dear I just had a toke on the wrong roll-up in the ashtray. It was my wife's spliff rather than my cigarette. Going to start feeling all wierd soon. Wish me luck

A bit naive aren't you! I live in England and we have many people of different colours, all english!
I'd like to know what you think of chinese americans, afro americans etc who fight and die for their country.
What you say can be taken as nothing but racist...or ignorant

Because they're probably Chinese American.
